This is the end, my friend. mono211 and monotonik will continue to put out the best mp3s, CDs and so on, but MODs on mono211+tonik end here, right now. You wouldn’t want us fading away, would you? Better to burn out with this final compilation. It’s been over 3 years and getting on for 200 releases on both labels, so the title – pretty suitable, we guess?

h0l and the rest of the mono211/monotonik crew would like to extend their thanks to everyone who ever released MODs via mono or mono211 or monotonik, those who helped us with distribution and webspace, supported us with emails, kind words, and encouragement, and those who listened to and enjoyed our tunes. There’s plenty of MOD groups around, but we’d like to think we have a special place in your hearts as one of the groups who did things a little differently.

Enough. Keep on checking http://www.mono211.com, and keep it fresh. The best, we’ve been assured, is yet to come.

Bay Tremore – Four77 {mtw005}

Artist: Bay Tremore
Title:
 Four77
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
mtw005
Release Date:
1999/03/15


Another day, another m211 mp3 release, and this time it’s the mp3 debut of that funk soul brother Bay Tremore. He hits us with one of his intriguingly original drum and bass tracks – sorta somewhere towards the techstep that so dominates d+b nowadays but then shying away towards the melodic underratedness of artists such as Arcon2 or even Springheel Jack.

In fact, it’s different again, and, much like the Tek tune we’ve previously put out on mp3, it offers a different perspective to a well-worn formula. Different perspectives, we’re sure you’ll agree, are good. And the ticktock-zooming-to-bass effect partway through the track is damn original to boot…

Title:
808 Overdrive
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#159
Release Date:
1999/01/19


Thank you for the music, said Abba. We say similar to Bay Tremore for this eminently bouncy track that assaults your eardrums at somewhere between hiphop, d+b, bigbeat, and heaven only knows what else. Sorta like Fatboy Slim if he came from Finland and listened to more Hardfloor than surf tunes. Now that http://www.mono211.com is up and everything is hunky dory, we’re getting back on track again – musical whizkids, eh, Tzant? 🙂

Label:

Catalog #:
rel#148
Release Date:
1998/09/15


It’s tricky. In some danger of becoming the Penn and Teller of the underground scene – now you see him, now you don’t? With the undercurrents of the macabre but the straightahead gobsmacking in there too, it’s a valid comparison, but, let’s face it, Bay Tremore just ain’t that.. sick. Although perhaps some of his basslines are a little.. evil 🙂 Anyhow, in the latest instalment he takes on some of the recent mono211 releases from ramone and substance, gives them a good seeing-to, and dumps them in the gutter, bloodied but somehow a whole lot tougher. c-c-call the c-c-ops. 🙂


Tracklist:
01 – Ramone+BayTremore – Bango (bt d+b remix) [XM] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – Substance+BayTremore – Dusty Filters (bt remix) [XM] [FLAC] [MP3]

Artist: Bay Tremore
Title:
Rockin’ Steady
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
rel#140
Release Date:
1998/07/10


More of the pretty unique Bay Tremore junglistics, and this one is bordering on the gorgeous – full of little turns and cut-ups and organ stabs and drums on drums, and for four channels too, it’s maddeningly good. Apologies to all those bands using their thirty-two channel studios and making music worse than this – we didn’t mean to show you up, honestly 😉

Artist: Bay Tremore
Title:
Twisted
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
MOD#133
Release Date:
1998/05/04


Aha, the first release from Bay Tremore now he’s a member of mono211, and there’s some excellent shenanigans from his corner of the globe, in the form of “Twisted”. Just say yes to weird sampled vocals and trippy drums, won’t you? 🙂 Btw, Bt’s evil cousin may or may not have been responsible for a couple of the recently rockin’ no’mo releases.. as always, they’re limited edition, unlimited sedition, so if you don’t have them now, start looking 😉

Artist: Bay Tremore
Title:
Basement
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
MOD#126
Release Date:
1998/02/17


A new guest release, this time from the rather attractively named Bay Tremore, and it’s a really funky headnodder, blunted stylee. This track was introduced to us by Zyad, who’s done quite a funky remix of it – this may come out on fsb sometime soon if we’re all lucky 🙂 Thanks to Mr.Tremore for letting us put out his most excellent tune, and remember, kidz, innovate, don’t imitate (that’s enough with the surreal song descriptions, you know who you are!)
